Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: I have moved the article to "Val di Stava dam collapse", and I withdraw the move proposal per facts by Andrea ans Skinsmoke; thanks for pointing out. Kind regards. Rehman 09:26, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Val di Stava Dam collapse → Val di Stava Dam: It is always more reasonable to have a the dam article, with a history or collapse section. A recent example I came across; Kelly Barnes Dam. Rehman 00:58, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Two problems with this proposal. Firstly the article as it stands is about the collapse not the dams. Secondly, there was no Val di Stava Dam. There were two tailings dams which collapsed, but there's no evidence that either had this particular name. http://www.stava1985.it/stava1985/html/10/30/ calls the spaces behind the dam walls the upper and lower basins, and doesn't give the dam walls themselves any names at all. Andrewa (talk) 03:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, shouldn't this article be moved to Val di Stava dam collapse? Skinsmoke (talk) 03:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Andrewa (talk) 03:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
